Since entering the realm of ocean conservation, we've learned a few simple things that we figured are worth sharing.

Easy Reusables

Invest in reusable water bottles, utensils, bags, and containers - and remember to bring them with you. Over time, this will save you money as well. Be creative - bring cutlery from home. Mason jars are hip. Why pay for water? It's nearly free from the tap. Metal, wood, and glass are great alternatives to plastic.

For Smokers

Roll your own - filters are made from plastic, and offer no health benefits

Switch it up - use a pipe!

Lighters are made from plastic - cardboard matches aren’t, and have less of an environmental impact

Toss the butt in a mint tin rather than litter

Deny until you Die

Try to avoid single-use plastic items like straws, utensils, razors, flossers, containers, plastic bags and bottles. Margaritas are great, but straws suck - make it a habit to ask for a drink without one. Reducing your plastic consumption in the first place is always better than recycling.
